It’s similar when we stretch our bodies. Have you ever practiced forward bending and hurried as you folded forward to get to the furthest point possible?

You completely bypass any noise from nudging places in between. All you care about is HOW FAR you can bend without stopping to notice each part playing part to get you allllll the way down.

There’s a TON of tactile information in each subtle transition. If we neglect to notice…

That’s where it’s like anticipating Q too quickly.

Let’s say you CAN jump that far…maybe you can… but there’s LOTS of information you’re going to miss when you rush it.

“Take ONE step at a time. Repeat.”

I too have difficulties remembering this mantra at times. Instead of enjoying each step, remaining in the journey, I agonizing over why I’m going slowly or why I’m not done already. Not THAT is pure torture.

So let’s

LINGER LONGER.

…one step then the next…

Let’s focus on that.

The delicious delicacy is practicing doing

step by step with deliberateness and delight.

THE WEEKLY MANTRA 30 JUNE 2015

The mantra of the week is:

“Every journey begins with a single step.”

This mantra is an amazing reminder.

All too often, we judge our every action. I know I do and more often than not, doing so SLOWS me on my journey rather than allowing me to progress on to another step.

We think we aren’t good enough, doing enough, or just get overly critical of details. This decelerates our actions, slows our progress, and pretty much sucks life out. Notice if you do this.

Keep this mantra on your mind.

One step follows the next.

Breathe and begin.

Mess up?
On to the next step. Breathe take a step and …

see what arises.

You may be utterly surprised.
